Deep Conditioning Masks

Hi again!


It's been about a week and I'm already so over winter, I'm trying not to wish my life away but can summer come back now please??

I miss the 8pm sunsets in Langebaan - December 2012

I was going to say something about the seasons affecting your hair, but honestly our hair always needs a little bit of TLC because whether it's the summer sun and chlorine or the dry winter, it's damaging your hair anyway...

So if you want to treat your hair and protect it from whichever season it's about to endure, THIS IS FOR YOU!

(So far it has taken me more than an hour to write those few sentences because I keep getting caught up stalking celebrities on twitter, if you're wondering about how functional I am.) 

(And there was just loads of thunder and it's not supposed to rain here in winter. Weird.)

Anyway. I am REALLY lazy when it comes to looking after my hair; I hardly ever straighten or curl it and I NEVER blow dry it so it is naturally quite healthy - my quick disclaimer - so keeping it in good condition is not difficult for me and I only have one tip that I swear by:

DEEP CONDITIONING HAIR MASKS. 

I don't use them all that often because I don't want my hair to become dependent on them and only lock moisture in when I've used the mask so once every two or three weeks is sufficient for me. If your hair is really dry and brittle, you may want to start out using it once a week and use it less frequently as your hair regains its strength. 

This is the mask that I use: Sunsilk Damage Reconstruction

I had a look on the Sunsilk website, however to enter the site you need to select your country and South Africa wasn't on the drop down list but I definitely bought it in South Africa so I'm not sure how to evaluate where you can and can't buy it. I swear by this stuff. I wash my hair in the shower like I normally would and then I towel dry my hair and apply this mostly to the ends of my hair and sort-of just 'wipe' the excess product over the roots. After five minutes I rinse it off and leave my hair to air dry. One of these tubs lasts about three months (granted, I do have fairly short-medium length hair) and is really not too pricey.

I would seriously recommend this product to anybody with hair. Dry and damaged or if you just want to maintain strong and healthy hair, try it!

That is literally all I do to maintain my hair and it works like a charm for me. 

Have a fabulous weekend!
